Summary: __va_copy patches

Initial Comment:
This issue was discovered when preparing for OpenBSD 
3.1, and compiling on our non-i386 arches.  Let me 
quote a mail from drahn@openbsd.org:

> [Tell the Python guys] the vararg handling is poor, 
and that this is possible solution, but not a great 
solution. If possible It would be best to not parse 
the varargs argument twice.

> Different architectures deal with varargs 
differently, __va_copy is a way that some 
architectures use do a deep copy. __va_copy is present 
in solaris and powerpc (*BSD and Linux) as far as I 
know.

Attached is the patches we are using to build our 
Python package; without it we cannot build Python 2.2 
on arches like powerpc as the built python cores.

Python 2.1 does not need these patches.
